Location

Far from the chaos but close to adventure.

Entrance to our street from La Ruta del Sol

We are located at the entrance to the Rio Chico community on Ruta del Spondylus just south of Salango if you are coming from Manta or Puerto Lopez. The street name is 25 de Diciembre (yes, like Christmas) but there are no signs. There is an elementary school across from the bus stop. If you take a bus ask them to drop you off at the Rio Chico Children’s School and walk across the street and up the hill to Quinta Oasis. If you're coming from the south, Olón or Montañita or Guayaquil, the bus stop is on the right as you head north.
